get_articleGet a Basis Desk articleread-onlyFetch one Basis Desk article as Markdown: key points, body, FAQ and the numbered primary sources it was checked against (with links). Use after search_news/latest_news when you need details, quotes or citations. Accepts a basisdesk.news URL or slug. Cite the article URL when you use it.

Filter by category (bitcoin, ethereum, defi, regulation, institutions, security, stablecoins, macro…) or kind (news, analysis, explainer). Returns headline, date, summary, tickers and URL.

Returns matching stories (newest first) with headline, date, summary and URL; follow up with get_article for the full text and sources.
